1/n Several months since leaving my last employment in order to focus on gambling full time, I am starting to really feel the cracks in doing this for a living. Often given respectable labels such as "sports trading", never forget that gambling with an edge is still gambling.

@Steven_Swinford As usual, no comprehension of the second order effects of such stupid ideas. That this scheming imbecile is lauded as one of the rising "stars" of the Labour party, along with the dearth of talent in opposition parties, illustrates how grim the next 10 years will be.

Wes Streeting has this morning set out his tax plans - specifically bringing capital gains tax into line with income tax He says that the current system is unfair because it penalises work Higher or additional rate taxpayers will pay 24% on gains in the current financial year. Streeting said that the rates should mirror income tax bands - so 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers He says that the approach could raise £12billion a year Streeting said: “A member of my family is a cleaner in Lancashire. She pays a higher tax rate on her salary than her landlord pays for the growing value of the home she lives in. She slogs her guts out, he puts in far less effort, yet the state rewards him more than her. And we wonder why people are angry. “The system is penalising work. It’s not fair and it’s bad for our economy. We need a wealth tax that works. A pound made from simply owning assets should not be taxed less than a pound made from a hard day's work. We can do it in a way that is pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur and pro-work.”

Oh, spare us the sanctimonious drivel, Andy. Ten years ago you flounced out of Westminster because the 'system' wasn't working for you personally after failing upwards for 16 years. Now, after using Greater Manchester as your personal branding exercise - racking up debt, rebadging buses, and claiming credit for growth that predates you - you're bored of the Mayor gig and want back in Parliament for your own opportunistic gains. 'Deeply care about Makerfield'? You couldn't even be bothered to stand there (or anywhere) last time. This is just the latest chapter in your serial loser saga: you got absolutely trounced in not one but two Labour leadership contests, first to Ed Miliband, then to Jeremy Corbyn, before sulking off to Manchester to play regional 'king'. Now you're back chasing the top job again, positioning yourself as the saviour while the North crumbles under the very government you helped enable. The people who actually voted for you as Mayor get their mid-term rug pulled for your ego trip, costing taxpayers another expensive election. The 'man of the people' routine is ancient history, especially after Labour's national meltdown. This reeks of desperation, not principle. Good luck explaining to voters why the 'change we brought to Greater Manchester' requires you abandoning it halfway through for another shot at the prize you already proved you can't win.

A system that allows any sitting government to manoeuvre an unelected individual into a safe seat so they can subsequently insert them PM via the back door is a disgrace. It also confirms that they realise how shallow their talent pool is to consider Burnham as a solution.
Robert Peston@Peston

Former Starmer enforcer Josh Simons gives up his seat in parliament so Andy Burnham can fight a by election, to return to parliament and displace Starmer as leader. Simons lost his ministerial job over a scandal afflicting the Starmer vanguardist campaigning organisation Labour Together. This is the stuff of Greek tragedy

@Chumastic1280 @fullgoracing Deposit limits are no issue - not made one in years. The switch to short term £1k+ losses without reference to profit over a longer time frame is the issue. I will read what you suggested. If what you say is true then chances are this has been applied to me previously already.

@oddsvantage @fullgoracing Should add, the issue for me isn't that they're not intrusive, but they're already in place & betting size has been an issue for 2 years now, as most operators are doing a version of this and setting a default deposit limit. Unibet already use transunion (CRA) for "frictionless"

I've just calculated that to avoid an affordability check at £1000 a month I would have to reduce my stake on racing to £20 and on football to £35. I'm no longer full time, which is a good job too, as FT punting is over in this country if these checks come in, which they will.

@Chumastic1280 @fullgoracing Can you provide a link to where this is set in stone? I've already scaled back staking significantly, but if what you say is true I will need to roll that change back.

@fullgoracing They don't work the way you think they do. Once you hit the £1000 check you'll get a simple soft check (as happens at flutter/365 now). As long as you're not bankrupt or have debt it will be as you were. Unless you rack up 10,000s which again, already happens.

@chrisgambler247 Lack of clarity is the most frustrating element here. Assuming these checks are enforced, as an exchange player if they tell me precisely what will trigger, I can change my stake/exposure and increase hedging to reduce the chances of setting one off. But we get zero detail.

I have asked multiple operators this same question. No one knows the answer. It appears that it will be up to the stroke of the pen of an unelected Gambling Commission bureaucrat.
Oriel Caziado@CanningtonCaz

@UTD_Hickoo @chrisgambler247 This is the sort of question we need to know. Someone could have 30k in an exchange account built up from a small deposit years earlier. They have a bad day but they still have 29k in the account. Surely common sense says they ain’t got to jump thru hoops to carry on betting.

@CanningtonCaz @UTD_Hickoo @chrisgambler247 You'd hope but common sense left the room a long time ago on this topic. I've kept a large balance for years now to avoid deposit based ACs but £1K+ down in a day is not unusual. If asked to consent to an AC I'd refuse as all of my income is from gambling and failure is certain

Gambling Commission's own open banking analysis has around 6.6% (135/2024) of unique gamblers exceeding £1k/24 hours or £2k/90 days net deposit limits. This is over DOUBLE the 3% number being used to make the case for affordability checks. gamblingcommission.gov.uk/report/open-ba…

@StuartAndrew The coefficient of friction of checks is not the issue - it is the EXISTENCE of them. No sane person will hand over sensitive financial data to a 3rd party for "permission" to spend their own money. Focus on identification of, and support for problem gamblers.

Gambling reform has to protect people from addiction and serious mental health harm. As Minister, I was clear affordability checks must be genuinely frictionless and must not drive punters towards the black market. The Government should pause and bring this back to Parliament.
British Horseracing Authority@BHAHorseracing

💬 "The Government must bring this back to Parliament for full democratic scrutiny." An important intervention from previous Gambling Minister @StuartAndrew, who was clear when he was in post that affordability checks should only be approved if they are proven to be fully frictionless. The opposite is happening now, and we agree with his assertion that the Government needs to bring this policy – which will have severe unintended consequences for British racing – back to parliament for full democratic scrutiny. thesun.co.uk/news/39044081/…

I’m never giving my financial details to a bookmaker or an app in order to have a bet. I doubt I’m in the minority, I never did like being told what to do, certainly not with my own money.

@chrisgambler247 Do we yet have cast iron definitions of what is "affordable" ? Also what date does it officially become policy? Probably good time to scale back staking to avoid this shit and try to stay alive while I work out how to get into prediction markets.

I enjoy T20 batting like I would a light snack. I find it hard to truly respect it. Only because it’s ok to get out in T20s. It’s no big deal. No real backlash. And that is why T20 batting excellence is far easier to achieve. Life is easier, when there isn’t much at stake. 😊

@theanalyst I feel sorry for him. The last thing Zak Crawley needed five or six years ago was an environment with no coaching and one in which he was told to just go out and be himself. A hugely talented lad who needed a bit of technical help. Failed miserably by BazBall.

Narcissism and victim mentality go hand in hand. Media went for him because he is a massive arsehole who thought he was bigger than the team. He was a better player than he is a commentator though I'll give him that.
Vipin Tiwari@Vipintiwari952

Pietersen claimed that his support for the IPL was the reason behind the cricket governing body resenting him and using the media to attack him, which led to him not playing an international career after the age of 33 : “I made sacrifices, and they were big sacrifices. I lost my career because of it. 100%. It's the only reason why everybody went against me in that establishment. I'm 33, finished with England. 104 test matches. I should have played 150 or 160 test matches and gotten 12,000 or 13,000 runs. That's what I should have got. Yeah. But I didn't. I interviewed Jos Buttler a couple of weeks ago, and he also said, "Thank you." Because of all the sacrifices that I made, these guys can just have the fruits now. I mean, I think the ECB used the telegraph at the time to go after me, and then they shifted. And I mean, I don't want to go too much into it because it's well publicized and I live a very happy, peaceful life now," [TRS]
